The £249 price tag is compares favourably to Google's own Chromebook pixel, which boasts an incredible 2560 x 1700 resolution display and a price of £1,049. Chromebooks run on Google's Chrome OS, which is basically an operating system based around a web browser, where pretty much everything is done while connected to the internet.
